“This should be a walkable, environ men -tally friendly people place,” said PhillipNelson, president of Columbia Association(CA). “Right now it’s a beautiful area, butnobody uses it.”

Nelson is excited about the prospect ofchanging that with the Inner Arbor Plan, whichwas endorsed by the CA Board of Directors inFebruary and will next continue into theHoward County Govern ment approval process.Symphony Woods Park sits almost

completely empty except for whenpeople pass through it on the way to Merriweather, or on therare days when annual events are held on the grounds.

Downtown Columbia will be changing through redevelopmentefforts, including at and around The Mall in Columbia as well as nearLake Kittamaqundi. That will bring more people living, working andplaying downtown.

“We have been thinking about how to build a park that takes sixdifferent generations in Columbia into account,” Nelson said. “TheInner Arbor Plan gives people something to do, and it gives peoplesomething they would want to come back to.”

The attraction comes through featuresthat could include a dinner theater, achildren’s theater, a ballroom venue, aniconic sculpture, a treehouse amphitheater,an elevated tree canopy walk, a sculpturegarden, a restaurant and cafes, a fountainplaza, meandering paths and CA head -quarters. A 1,750-space parking garagewould be nearby, outside of the park whereToby’s Dinner Theatre is presently located.

This would be done while removing fewertrees from Symphony Woods than had once

been proposed during initial park planning.“It’s something for everyone,” Nelson said. “There’s still

going to be 37 acres of trees–but there’s also going to besomething to do in those 37 acres.”

And as this community and the people within it continue tochange, so too could its downtown gem.

“This is the basis,” Nelson said. “You never stop planning fora park.”

Finance Report

Released by CAfor FY2013

The Finance Service Bureau continued to work toimplement Spectrum and to resolve issues as they arise.The team is actively working with the software provider toensure a consistent billing process, have reports developedfor account reconciliation and correct set-ups and otherprocesses in multiple areas of the organization.

Community Building and SustainabilityDuring the third quarter, the Community Building andSustainability Service Bureau continued to help Columbiaremain vibrant and responsive to changes and trends thataffect the community. Ongoing initiatives this quarterincluded routine pathway widenings andimprovements; tot lot replacement; implementation ofwatershed management projects; park planning andenhancements, including design for the renovationsof the Kennedy Gardens; and outreach andengagement on the dog park and commencement of

engineering services to implement the dogpark in Harper’s Choice in FY2014. InDecember, the group released “Characteristicsof Columbia: A Demographic and Socio-

Economic Profile,” which provides an overview of Columbiaand the villages based on the 2010 Census.

Community ServicesThe Community Services Division finished the thirdquarter $640,000 above budget and projected to end theyear approximately $400,000 above budget. The positivevariance over budget is primarily due to increased tuitionand enrollment income from School Age Services andCamps due to increased enrollment and savings in salary

and wages; operating supplies and fees; and throughouteach of the expense lines. The School Age Services Department was awarded

a $40,000 grant from the Horizon Foundation toimplement health and wellness activities and providemore nutritious snacks for participants.

Some of the important programs that are supported bythe first quarter subsidy of $1,585,000 fromthe annual charge are: the Summer LakefrontFestival, Columbia Archives, Sister Cities,Columbia Art Center, Volunteer CenterServing Howard County, Youth and Teen Center @ TheBarn, covenant enforcement fees and access to camps andBefore and After School Care for income-qualified young -sters. In addition, the subsidy provides support to the villagecommunity associations in the amount of $3,755,000.

Open Space ManagementThe Open Space Management Division completed the thirdquarter of the fiscal year better than the budget in total operatingexpenses by $1,863,000 and with a decrease in net assets of$8,592,000. This represents a favorable variance of $2,222,000from budget. All departments in the division had totaloperating expenses less than the budget through the quarter.

The Land Maintenance Department expenses were lessthan budget in all line items through the third quarter. Arevised approach to the implementation of watershedretrofit projects and the development of a water qualitymonitoring plan contributed to keeping costs downthrough this period.

The RV Storage Park is better than budget through the

Organization-wide Summary Columbia Association (CA) finished thethird quarter of FY2013 at $1.9 million, or 17 percent, above budget, and$1.5 million below the same period in FY2012. Total income of $55.9million was essentially flat compared to budget and to the same period inFY2012. Total operating expenses of $43.1 million were 4.8 percent belowbudget, and $1.9 million higher than this period last year. CA anticipatesending FY2013 with an increase in net assets of nearly $4.5 million.

quarter in both income and total operating expenses. TheRV Park is at 99 percent capacity at this time.

The Administration Department expenses were less thanbudget in all but two line items through the third quarter.

The current estimate shows that by year’s end, a total of$13,011,000 of annual charge revenue will be required topro tect, improve and maintain the environmental assets ofColumbia.

Sales and MarketingSales of new and renewal Package Plan memberships weredown 1,217 memberships versus the same time last year,and 1,047 behind budget. During the third quarter, 467Columbia Cards were issued. We expect our direct mail,email marketing and print advertising campaigns tocontinue to bring in new members.We launched a new @CASpecials Twitter account

that provides members and nonmembers with specialoffers and deals for CA’s programs. We also created aCA Specials landing page on CA’s main website(ColumbiaAssociation.org) with additional deals. Wepromoted summer camps in the “Official Visitors andResidents Guide,” “Laurel Leader,” “Armed ForcesDirectory” and “Maryland Family Magazine”;promoted the Art Center’s School’s Outprogram and SplashDown via CertifiKid, anemail/website similar to Groupon forfamilies; launched a webpage promotingprograms for kids at ColumbiaFit.org/Fun4Kids;participated in Howard County’s Ethnic Community Summitand sub se quent small group meetings; provided outstandingsales and service to residents who visited the MembershipService Center and Maggie J. Brown Welcome Center anddistributed the CA Activities Guide to 56,000 resident andmember households.

Sport & FitnessA number of new programs and highlights occurred duringthe first three quarter of FY2013, including providing Dive-In movies at the outdoor pools and Senior Dive-In moviesat Columbia Swim Center; reopening SplashDown andproviding monthly teen nights; completing the YouthArena at Supreme Sports Club; offering the Biggest Winnerprogram; offering a Spa Day at Columbia Gym; launchingmixed martial arts classes; continuing the Hobbit’s GlenGolf Club Clubhouse redevelopment process; completingOwen Brown Tennis Court renovations and more.The Sport & Fitness Division completed the third

quarter significantly below budget and is expectedto fall well short of budget at the end of the year. Theshortfall is largely an accounting change resulting from thenew Spectrum computer system, which enables CA todefer all fee income until the service is provided. Prior tothis, fee income for classes and personal training and otherprograms was recorded in income when the funds werereceived. While this lag in income will continue throughthe fourth quarter and at year’s end, due to the growth inpersonal training income and the emphasis division-wideon increasing non-membership dues revenue, it isprojected that the fees income division-wide will have onlya minor shortfall (5.1 percent) at year’s end.

THE ARTS CAN PLAY A KEY ROLE IN A COMMUNITY.They have been an integral part of Columbia since itsfounding, have continued to grow into a significantelement of the local lifestyle, and will remain a crucialcomponent of downtown redevelopment.With that in mind, residents are invited to “Cultural

Catalyst: Arts, Creative Placemaking and EconomicProsperity,” a presentation and question-and-answersession featuring Randy Cohen of Americans for theArts. The event will be held from 7 to 9pm on Tuesday,April 30, at the Horowitz Center Smith Theatre atHoward Community College. The event will start withrefreshments, and Cohen’s presentation will begin at7:30pm.

Cohen is vice president of research and policy forthe nonprofit, which focuses on advancing the arts andarts education. He will speak about how investment incultural facilities and programming has helped recastcommunities across the country and has improvedtheir vitality and prosperity.“The arts can and should play a role in any

community redevelopment,” said Liz Henzey, directorof Columbia Art Center. “The arts engage and mobilizevarious facets of a community — schools, businesses,nonprofits, individuals — for cultural experiences andtimely causes. In turn, local businesses thrive,residents feel a sense of belonging, artists have theopportunity to hone and express their talents and thecommunity as a whole is all the more enriched.”The event is co-sponsored by Columbia Association

(CA), the Howard County Arts Council and HCC’s Peterand Elizabeth Horowitz Visual and Performing ArtsCenter. It is the 7th installment of CA’s CommunityBuilding Speakers Series, which hosts thought-provokingspeakers on topics that stimulate people to discuss,engage and build a sense of community in Columbia.

Registration for this event is not required but isencouraged, via speakerseries-arts.eventbrite.com.

Help Clean Up Columbia

Columbia ElectionsBy Aria White Connor

By Keithan Samuels

WITH WINTER OVER, IT’S TIME FOR A SPRING CLEANING. THE COLUMBIAvillage associations will hold their 5th annual Columbia Clean Up Day onSaturday, April 13 from 9am-noon. The event is sponsored by ColumbiaAssociation’s (CA) Open Space Management division.Columbia residents are encouraged to come out and help keep our community

beautiful. “We have had 200 to 300 community members involved over the past couple

of years and are hoping for a strong number of community members this yearas well,” says Sean Harbaugh, Assistant Division Director of Open SpaceManagement.Columbia Clean Up Day first started in 2009. Since then, the event has become

an annual tradition for the Columbia community.Residents who are interested in participating or want more information can contact

their village community center or call open space management at 410-312-6330.

Columbia Association (CA) is continuing to invest in clean, renewable

energy by installing a 20 kilowatt photovoltaic (PV) system, which uses

solar panels to convert sunlight to electricity, at Amherst House in Kings

Contrivance. The system will generate more than 22,000 kilowatt-hours of

electricity and reduce utility costs by more than $2,000 annually. The Amherst

House PV system will increase CA’s on-site renewable energy generating capacity

by nearly three-fold relative to the existing system in River Hill.

Besides reducing CA’s utility costs, onsite

renewable energy generation will:

• Reduce greenhouse gas emissions

and climate change impacts associated

with energy consumption.

• Reduce emissions of other types of

pollutants such as nitrous oxide and

particulates.

• Contribute to state and local efforts to

increase renewable energy generation.

• Support the continued development

of the clean energy market.

Utilizing renewable energy sources is an

important part of CA’s broader energy management efforts to support sustainable

operations. Beyond energy efficiency and conservation efforts, the most impactful

way to reduce the environmental footprint of our operations is through the use of

on-site renewable energy sources. CA also uses solar energy to heat water for use in

our pools, and we expect to continue efforts to strategically deploy renewable energy

systems.

CA residents and businesses can also explore the use of renewable energy, and there

are several incentive programs available to help them offset the cost of the project.

Please visit the following websites for more information on how you can help improve

the sustainability of our community and save money at the same time.

Quick TipsforEarth Day

By Aria White Connor

Earth Day is coming up on Monday, April 22. The annual day is dedicated to

raising awareness of our planet’s environment. In honor of Earth Day this

month, we’ve compiled a list of tips to help keep the environmentally healthy.

Clean up after your pets. Leaving pet waste on the ground allows harmful bacteria and

nutrients to wash into storm drains and eventually into Columbia’s streams and lakes. Remember

to pick up waste and dispose of it properly. Flushing pet waste is the best disposal method.

Recycle rainwater. Take the rain that collects in downspouts and gutters and disperse it

throughout your yard. Water that runs from downspouts into the storm drain or onto a hard surface

reduces infiltration of rainwater into the ground. By using a downspout extension, such as tubing

or a downspout diverter, rainwater can be used to water gardens and trees.

Wash your car at a car wash. Commercial car washes must treat the soapy water so that

it has less impact on water quality. If you wash your car at home, use only biodegradable cleaning

products, as they will eventually wash into the Columbia watershed and affect our lakes, streams

and ponds.

For more information and tips to protect Columbia’s waterways, visit ColumbiaWatershed.org.
